The trOtting meeting at Hamline con-
cluded yesterday afternoon in blaze
of glory, and in addition to the regular
programme two events not on the card
were presented for the qualification of
the spectators. Between the heats of
the final trOt the PAGERS, Silvertail and
Daisy Dean, owned by Lee w. Sinclair,
of Salem, Ind, and driven by Joe Ray,
were given an opportunity for an eXhl-
bition mile against their best records.
time 2:1S 1-2, at Saltwater few days
ago. Ray nodded for the word at the
first attempt and sent his team flying
around the course without a skip or
break in the excellent time, 2:1S4, and
but for the track being tritie heavy
they would have cut still deeper under
the record. These horses were driven
to light skeleton road wagon, and
their exhibition was undoubtedly the
feature Of the day.
Subsequently Bru' o Bcaupre, minus
his coat. drove his PAGERS to heavy
road wagon to beat their best time,
2:24 1-2, and he also succeeded by 2 sec
Onds. 50 that in future his pets will have
2:22 1-2 inscribed on their banner.

For the first regular race on the pro-
gramme, the 2:21 trot, the knowing
ones thought Voucher good horse to
make favOrite, but they were badly
left. for in the four heats the best posi-
ton he obtained was fourth. The first
heat went to Pantlind, who was re-
garded as an outsider, but afterwards
James q merely played with his oppon-
entS and won three straight heats with
cut being urged.

HOnOrS were easy in the 2:30 class for
the first three heats, Stuart, Pat Quinn
and Mcleod getting one each and thus
creating a great deal of enthusiasm.

the other horses, for he took the two
necessary heats handily, securing the
lead in each case shortly after passing
the stand and maintaining it to the
finish. In fact it looked as though some
of the other trOtterS would be shut out,
but the driver of Mcleod considerably
slowed up near home and gave them a
chance for place. Originally ten
horses were entered for this race, but
only five came to the score and the rec

DOUBLE TEAM RUNNING.
Among the ladies present there was
great deal of interest manifested IN the
double team running race TO skeleton
wagons by lady drivers, and the two
teams of thoroughbred contestants APP
peared there was most enthusiastic
from the grand stand boxes. Very little
time was spent in manouvering, but at
the first trial they were sent of. and a
very pretty race resulted all around the
track. At no time were the contestants
separated more than half a length, and
when they finally emerged from behind
the hill near the third quarter it was
neck-and-neck contest. Together the
splendid animals raced into the stretch
straining every muscle of their fair
drivers. and as they passed under the
wire it was generally conceded that the
judges decided properly in declaring it
a dead heat. The time given was Lob,
showing the pace to have been hot one
from start to finish.
Subsequently Misses Masterman and
Morse gave an exhibition entitled a
Roman standing race, each driver stand
ing with foot on horse, which scam
pered away as if mad around the track.
The skirts of the bloomer costumes worn
were inflated like balloons, and was
very suggestive of SawduSt and spangleS
under a circus tent. One heat of this
exhibition was enough for the Specta-
tors, and when the stocking-tooted
equestriennes came out for a final effort
the grand stand was deserted and the
majority OF the thrOng were hurrying
towards the special train ell route for
home.
